Chapter 3 – Caught in Crisis
"I'll go!" I spat out the phlegm, quickly stood up, I didn't care about the crime of killing or not killing, and the exhaustion on my body was swept away, I picked up the watermelon knife and hurried up to the second floor.
On the second floor, the stairs are facing a long corridor, at this time the corridor is full of bloodstains, there are six doors on both sides of the corridor, each door is wide open at this time, and there are obvious blood stains, and there are obvious traces of drag in front of the last two doors on the left.
"Ji Nian?" I stood at the top of the stairs and shouted softly.
"......" responded to me with silence...... I wondered in my heart - could it be that this zombie ran away with Ji Nian? No, there is Zhou Hongtao guarding the front door, and Xiao Yao watching from behind, even if they can't hold it, I can hear them shouting at me...... But why is there no sound at all......
Although I had some doubts, but I was eager to save people, and I instinctively went straight to the last two rooms on the left side of the corridor.
Just as I was about to walk to the penultimate room on the left, I suddenly felt a palpitation, and then I only felt a gust of wind coming directly from the back of my head, I didn't think about it, I relied on my instinct, rolled on the right side, and after getting up, I found that a female zombie was pounced on my position just now.
"!" I have always been cautious when I was in the army, and I have never been attacked in several exercises, and today I was almost attacked by two brainless zombies, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of annoyance. I scolded hatefully, my right hand shook, and the watermelon knife shot out directly from my hand, and shot through the female zombie's head with a "poof".
I hummed and stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and was about to pull it out, but suddenly found that this female zombie was missing a large piece of flesh on her shoulder and a large piece of her face, but from her clothes, I could still conclude that this was the lady Lin who was a doctor...... I remember that the zombie downstairs who was slaughtered by me did not look like Ms. Lin's husband, Mr. Zhao, in terms of appearance, height or clothing...... Normally, the couple always go in and out together...... So here's the problem...... Where is Mr. Zhao?
"Bang" a black shadow quickly rushed from behind me, I didn't have time to draw the knife and was knocked forward, the instinct of military training made me quickly find the focus point in the roll, I took advantage of the momentum to roll a few times, get rid of the black shadow's collision, "oh" a loud noise, the black shadow actually hit the wall directly, I walked over to take a look, it was actually the unconscious Ji Nian! He was thrown over, the "man" who threw him......
I hurriedly turned my head, only to see a large mouth full of sharp teeth and an incomparable stench! Finished...... For a while, I was disillusioned...... I closed my eyes and waited for death to come......
"I'll go to your uncle" At this moment, Xiao Yao's roar suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by the whistling sound of the heavy object breaking through the air, "......", "Ping Pong", I knew that this was the sound that occurred when the heavy object and the zombie's head were in close contact. When I opened my eyes, I saw the zombie screaming and falling—a thick iron rod on its head......
"Zifeng" Xiao Yao's figure flashed out from the last door on the right side of the corridor, he walked quickly to me and Ji Nian, and asked worriedly: "I heard the sound of your fight outside the house, I hurriedly turned up from behind, are you okay?" Am I still in time? …… Wait, I think I killed someone? This ......" he said, looking around, and I could see the obvious shock and trepidation in his eyes.
"It's okay," I comforted him, and after the shocking scene just now, my voice was full of exhaustion and hoarseness, "This is a zombie ......," I said and carefully repeated my analysis and Xiao Yao.
"Heavenly ...... Do you suspect that there is a zombie crisis in the city now? Xiao Yao's voice trembled.
"Quite possibly." I responded while checking whether Ji Nian's body was injured.
"This thing... Sky... You have to confirm before you can tell the owners! Xiao Yao realized the seriousness of the matter, but still decided to confirm the situation outside the community again, after all, it is possible that the zombie crisis did not break out in the city, and we may just be a special case.
I knew in my heart that this was impossible, but I nodded in agreement with his approach - after all, no one wants to face the end of the world, only one in ten thousand hopes, which is worth looking forward to.
Xiao Yao and I quickly dealt with the blood stains on our bodies and carried the unconscious Ji Nian out of the 17 villas. In the face of Zhou Hongtao, who looked surprised, we didn't explain anything, but told him to ask the rest of the people to come and seal off this place, because I saw that many owners were rushing to find out at this time.
"Don't worry, there have been some accidents inside, we have called the police, please don't panic, don't worry, we have controlled the situation, please don't destroy the scene" Looking at Zhou Hongtao trying to explain to the unknown owners, Xiao Yao and I glanced at each other, obviously we have the same opinion - there is Zhou Hongtao alone. We quickly ran towards Gate 2, the nearest to the south.
"Brother Feng" saw us coming quickly, and the fat man Wang Dexi came down from the tower with a hippie smile and greeted us.
I glanced at Xiao Yao on the side and found that his eyes were full of disdain and disdain when he looked at Wang Dexi. I smiled slightly, there are strict rules in the tower of the community, except for the change of shifts, you are not allowed to leave the tower for half a step, but this fat man Wang has violated this rule many times by virtue of his special status, and it can even be said that he has violated all the rules all over again. It's no wonder that Xiao Yao, who has always been easy-going, has this kind of look, in our eyes, this guy who looks like a ball in front of us is simply a moth in society.
"Is there anything unusual out there?" Although I don't have a good impression of the fat man, I still have to give him face, after all, people greet each other with a smile, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
"Uh, that...... Ahem...... Everything works! Haha...... "The fat man snorted heavily.
I heard what he said and knew that he was not on duty seriously, either looking at his phone or sleeping, no wonder I saw his back sitting motionless on the surveillance, and he dared to show off at all!
I was helpless for a while, so I had to call Cheng Xu down and ask again if anything unusual had happened outside the community. Cheng Xu came down quickly, he pondered for a while, scratched his head, and told me that there was nothing abnormal, and the only abnormal estimate was that there were no passing cars for half a day.
Xiao Yao and I discussed it and decided to go out to have a look together, because the place where this community is next to the construction site, the only place where there are people is this community built first, and the supermarket opposite, it is really not abnormal to pass the car, because there is basically no car to walk from this remote place in the middle of the night, and it is normal to have no car for half a day.
I arranged for Cheng Xu to go back to Building 17 first, persuade the owners who were watching the excitement to go home, and then gather in front of Building 17, waiting for us to come back, and Wang Fatzi stayed to open the door for us.
Xiao Yao and I had left the watermelon knife and the baton in Building 17 before, so we found two mop handles from the tower to temporarily serve as self-defense weapons, and we also borrowed Wang Fatzi's Audi Q7 - under Wang's unwilling gaze. In this way, Xiao Yao and I drove out of the fortress-like community...
"I hear an alarm in the distance, I think let's go there first, shall we?" Xiao Yao drove the car and asked for my opinion.
"Hmm." I nodded, and listened to the subtle sirens in the distance, but they sounded very ethereal from a distance.
With the front of the car picked, we headed towards the Third Ring Road.
"Squeak-squeak-" Halfway through the car, a screeching brake suddenly sounded on the opposite side, and then a heavy truck loaded with gravel appeared in front of us. The heavy truck was wobbly, and it was clear that the sand and gravel in the car were overweight, and it was turning left and right along its route, and it looked like it was out of control.
"This ...... What's the situation?! Seeing the other party rushing straight towards us, Xiao Yao and I couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Xiao Yao reacted quickly, only to see his right hand slap the rudder to the left, and the front of the car deviated to the left, looking like he was about to avoid the truck, who would have thought that the front of the truck was also biased at this time, and hit the rear of the car that we had not yet set.
There was a loud bang, and the truck slammed into the back of our car, and suddenly I heard a noisy roar in my ears, and my head was shaken and dizzy.
"Boom-" The front of our car slammed straight into the building next to the street! Fortunately, the quality of the car is good and strong enough, but the front of the car was arched and not retracted into the cab, otherwise Xiao Yao and I would really have died.
Although it was not a big deal, because I was not wearing a seat belt, my forehead and both arms were scratched and bruised to varying degrees, and my left arm did not know what was cut by something A long opening, fortunately, it was not very deep, and my head was hit hard by the airbag, so that it could not break my nose, but for a while I still felt a stream of bitterness pouring from the nasal cavity into my throat and brain. I hurriedly opened my mouth wide and hissed for a while, and then I was relieved.
It took me half a day to fully wake up, and when I turned my head, I saw Xiao Yao knocking out with an airbag on his head. I hurriedly shouted twice - "Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao! ”。 But he didn't react at all. In a hurry, I remembered that there was a scene in the movie I watched before, where the protagonist passed out and was then fanned awake. I didn't think much about it at the moment, my left hand dragged him up by the hair, and my right hand was directly rounded in the air.
"Smack!" I saw that the left side of his face was swollen instantly, but he still didn't wake up, I gritted my teeth and slapped it with my backhand.
"Smack!" The right side of his face was also swollen high.
"Ahem" Xiao Yao finally woke up, coughed lightly twice, and I hurriedly took my hand back. It turns out that my method still works! The movie is not in vain! I was a little self-satisfied.
"Shhhh My face was fine before I passed out, how did I become this bear when I came together? ”
"Uh, you were hit by an airbag" I wiped the beads of sweat oozing from my sideburns, and while he was not paying attention, I secretly put my red right hand behind my back and quickly shook it twice - this girl's face is so hard, it hurts me so much! "Are you alright? If it's okay, just go out and see what's going on. I digressed.
"You can still change it." Xiao Yao covered his face and said in a muffled voice, kicking open the deformed car door on his side. I took off my coat and wrapped my injured left arm, and opened the door and got out of the car.
Xiao Yao and I got out of the car and found that the truck that caused the accident was not far behind our car, and the cab also hit the wall, but he was much worse than us, we had the front cover, so the machine cover arched up after the collision, and he was directly "inlay" on the wall because it was a truck.
We walked up to the front of the car and looked at the sticky, bloody juice in the middle of the front and the wall, and we couldn't help but retch twice before we could barely get used to it. “
"This ...... The buddies in this must have finished playing. Xiao Yao pinched his nose and said angrily.
I shrugged my shoulders and didn't speak, turned around and took out my stick, carried it in my hand, and walked towards the front of the car - I wondered if the driver had become a zombie or had drunk too much or had fallen asleep. Although the car he drove before was very abnormal, it is not ruled out that he drank too much or fell asleep.
I stood in front of the smashed fragments and pulled a few times with a stick, but I was helpless to find that the driver's head had been deflated - even a zombie was braided.
"I can't see anything, I can't tell if I became a zombie before, it seems that we have to move on." As I spoke, I looked back at Xiao Yao, but saw him frowning, his face full of solemnity. "What's wrong?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, I also seemed to sense that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong for a while.
"You don't think it......" Xiao Yao spoke slowly, but at this time, he heard a roar - "Roar! ”
When I turned around, I saw a large crowd of black zombies pouring out of the distance on the road in the direction of our original destination! At this time, the alleys and streets around us also poured out groups of zombies! They also blocked the way! Xiao Yao and I stood back to back, and we could both feel each other's tremors, and we were in crisis!
"What I want to say is......" Xiao Yao swallowed hard, "Didn't you notice that we had entered a place with a large number of residential buildings......"
